The area left of the driveway has been a natural area for many years. We decided this past winter to add some interest and benefit to it. I seeded in wildflowers after removing the vegetation. The picture below does not do it justice but the colors are striking. This year annuals will dominate the area and perennials will follow. We will have to add more annual seed next year to keep the interest up most of the season. The only non wildflower plants in the meadow are milkweed, which are beneficial to monarch butterflies and produce a flower as well. In order to remove the milkweed either by picking or spraying, we would have to walk through the area, damaging or killing flowers. Better to leave it be.
